I don’t have access to cloud.gnome; I should ask Andrea if I could get one I suppose.
File a ticket on bugzilla sysadmin module or if you want I can get it done for you and we can get you access. We might as will batch up the requests and get everyone who is relatively new on the engagement team access I think.
Out of those, I can see Ecotrust as the front-runner; despite being the most cost-friendly, their spaces also look really good! I feel just the right amount of space and ambience from what I can see of the pictures and the virtual tour. They're also a non-profit. For this venue, I see from their caterers' list, perhaps a suitable caterer called Hot Lips Pizza. Suits the more casual gathering event versus the typical full-service catering. They have vegan, veggie, gluten-free options and they also offer basic bar for events that include beer, wine and soda.
Hot Lips is pretty popular pizza joint. I don't have a problem with that, everybody loves pizza. :-) They also sell a natural soda that is available in a lot of places. It is a very Portland business and so I'm happy to give business to them. No surprise that they can cater to any kind of option, it is Portland. :-)
Looking at Eco-trust, I really like the terrace seating and I think would attract companies more than the bottom one which feels a little tired IMHO.
Me too! The rooftop terrace is great. And it is good to know that Hot Lips are good.
I haven't had their pizza in awhile, I suppose I should go and grab some and see how it is.
The next best option, cost-wise, is the Marion Gallery although I feel the ambience is not quite what we're looking for our purpose, they are more formal.
We used this place for Linux Plumbers, that was a bit posh and I would agree that it is a bit formal. I think people were uncomfortable there, but it was a good way to kind of get a contrast I thought that is why I put it there.
I am looking at 2 more options and will share when I have the details.
This is really excellent work! Very impressive how fast and how detailed you got with this.
I think for now the winner is ecotrust, and the Pearl district is really nice area.
I don’t know much about the price ranges to rent venues like that; just curious, from what you have seen, do you think ecotrust’s price is competitive and do you think there are better prices than that?
I don't either, I need to talk to some events people and see what they can tell me. I have a $50 amazon gift card that I can use for a bribe, let's see if I can get something from my friend and see if she can help me out.
